Nearest tracked nuclear sites
| Site | Country | Distance | Operating GW gross |
|---|---|---|---|
| Doel nuclear power plant | Belgium | 151 km | 1.1 |
| Tihange nuclear power plant | Belgium | 155 km | 1.1 |
| Borssele nuclear power plant | Netherlands | 184 km | 0.5 |
How these are worked out: ranks use gross operating capacity; ages count from the start-up year on record, as on the age page; build times run from construction start to grid connection, as on the build-times page; ratings are the tracker's net and design net capacity, as on the uprates page. Distances are straight-line between exact positions, so a site with only an approximate position gets none. A unit missing a date or a rating is left out of the figure that needs it.
